GROWN UP – Protection of trade secrets & financing
Every startup begins with an idea. However, the importance and opportunities to protect this idea early on are often underestimated. Founders are well advised to address the key issues surrounding the protection of their intellectual property as early as possible. But answers to questions surrounding the founding process itself, the necessary contracts with co-founders or employees, and financing for further growth should also not be neglected.
After the summer break on September 3rd, our free online seminar series 'Legal Boost for Startups' will take a look at the problem that not everything can be protected by intellectual property rights. However, trade secrets and know-how are essential for a company's success and, like the right financing, are of fundamental importance for further growth. Our speakers will address, among other things,
• Contractual and legal options for protecting know-how and trade secrets
• Financing strategies and alternatives (equity, debt, others)
